As far as speakers go, I have found that the HOME THEATER IN A BOX systems
are very well suited to this. They come with a receiver with digital
(optical and coax) inputs and 5.1 speakers and cable to hook it all up. All
you would need is the digital cord (coax or optical) and the sound card. I
am not the person to ask about sound cards. I use onboard NForce2. Good
luck!
